Anyone have a clue what kind of frog this is? I found the little guy at work(petco), during closing and it was underneath a towel, and I was surprised to see a little frog.then it tried to craw in a crack in the bottom of the wall. I asked my co-workers on what to do with frog, and they told we dont carry those anymore( Since last year or so. so how da heck it get here lol) so they let me take it home, Now Im stuck with the little guy :)

I never kept any amphibians before this is the first time, do I need any special lighting for it?

right now I have a empty 10g, thinking about putting dirt/mud in there and a little dish for water? is that ok?

This is a stupid question? lol Do i need lids for the frog or will it jump out

@Vicious Fish: lol


@OP: They require high humidity (75-80%) and a substrate they they can burrow into (ie: coconut fibers). They are also nocturnal so they don't need any special lighting.

don't forget to only use de-chlorinated water with this guy. Tap water will kill it.

At the time, I never took pictures of the tank, tank was @ school. But I made a half & half. Oneside was dirt and one side was water. Pretty cool and i had some plants that went across.

On Friday the frog went missing....The first time it jumped out/crawled out, we found outside the classroom in a crack, now it is totaly gone, never to be found again. well so far.....
